Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one line messages
at the lower third of the video display screen
whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround
mode or tuner frequency of any of the configura-
tion settings are changed. The semi-OSD system
is helpful in that enables you to have feedback
on any control changes or remote commands
using the video display when it is difficult to view
the front-panel displays. However, you may
occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for a
particular listening session. You may also want to
adjust the length of time the displays remain on
the screen. Both of those options are possible
with the AVR.
To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need to
make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED
menu (Figure 23). To start the adjust-
SELECT

Note that this setting is temporary and will
remain active only until it is changed or until the
AVR is turned off. Once the unit is turned off, the
semi-OSD displays will remain activated, even if
they were switched off for the previous listening
session.

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The
FULL OSD
simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR
using a series of on-screen menus. The factory
default setting for these menus leaves them on
the screen for 20 seconds after a period of
inactivity before they disappear from the screen
or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to
prevent the menu text from burning into the
CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might
happen if they were left on indefinitely. However,
some viewers may prefer a slightly longer or
shorter period before the Time Out display.
To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
menu (Figure 23). To start the adjust-
SELECT
ment, press the OSD button
MASTER MENU
